Non-slip bath coating for Gretton homes

Non-slip bath coating in Gretton, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Gretton

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Gretton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Gretton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What we are called out for in Gretton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Gretton questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Gretton is covered. Prices do not change with location.
